Victoria's COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry led by former judge Jennifer Coate released its final report in December last year after 90% of the cases from the state's second wave were linked to the bungled hotel quarantine system. The dispute over the decision to use private security instead of police and defence force personnel was a huge topic of contention within the public, with Ms Coate describing it as 'an orphan, with no person or department claiming responsibility' The state's health minister at the time Jenny Mikakos and her secretary Kym Peake resigned before the final report was released, with Premier Andrews saying he would have expected them to resign after the report was released anyway.
